The Levitt Pavilion Pasadena, located in Memorial Park in old Pasadena, will kick off its 10th annual Music Festival (Wednesdays Sundays June 17- August 26) at Make Music Pasadena on June 16 with the futuristic funk sounds of Dam Funk. Featuring Grammy-winners and world-renowned artists, the Levitt summer season attracts over 60,000 attendees each year. Concerts are offered free of charge on lush lawns with open seating, creating an intimate, relaxed, and accessible atmosphere in which to enjoy top quality artists under the stars. Levitt Pavilion Pasadena has been voted Best Live Music Venue by Pasadena Weekly readers consistently over the past several years. This year, Levitt was awarded the 2012 Readers’ Choice Award for Favorite Los Angeles Large Live Music by About.com, beating out such well-known venues as the Hollywood Bowl, Disney Concert Hall, the Ford Amphitheatre, and the Greek Theatre. Last year we saw record breaking attendance, says Eddie Cota, Artistic Director, and this years schedule will feature programming on par with the best-known live music venues in LA. In the hierarchy of L.A.’s outdoor amphitheaters, the humble Levitt Pavilions in MacArthur Park and Pasadena are often overlooked in favor of glitzier cousins in Hollywood and Los Feliz. But maybe they shouldn’t be. Los Angeles Times Childrens Wednesday nights festival begins at 5:00 pm and music begins at 7:00 pm; Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights festival begins at 6:00 pm/mu
